ANALYSIS: The Saga of Neil Young's "Like A Hurricane"


"Like A Hurricane" - Neil Young w/ Crazy Horse
(See 34+ minute version of "Like A Hurricane" at the Paleo Festival, Nyon, Switzerland on July 23, 2013)

 

Here is an in-depth analysis on the recording of Neil Young's epic song "Like A Hurricane" by Robert Broadfoot, NYU – Neil Young Unreleased on Facebook.

This analysis comes in light of the information recently published on the Album Of The Week | NYA. As Robert notes below, the information about this historically very important song is not entirely correct on the NYA song file card.

"Harvest On Vinyl" by Shane Nicholson: A Tribute To Neil Young's Album "Harvest"

Shane Nicholson

 

Singer-songwriter Shane Nicholson, from Australia, has written a song "Harvest On Vinyl", in tribute to the Neil Young album "Harvest". (Thanks Rusted Moon!)

 


Neil Young's album "Harvest" will celebrate its 50th anniversary next year.

Shane Nicholson sings about how he discovered the record in his parents' pub at the age of 13, how it accompanied him through life, how he sold it when the children came along and how he later bought the album again at a steep price.
 
A familiar tale?
 
enjoy!

ESSAY/REVIEW: "YOUNG SHAKESPEARE" by Neil Young | Bentley's Bandstand | NYA

REVIEW: YOUNG SHAKESPEARE | Bentley's Bandstand | NYA


In classic fashion, writer Bill Bentley "reviews" YOUNG SHAKESPEARE, Neil Young's latest album on Bentley's Bandstand | NYA.
 
We say "reviews" because if you have followed Bill Bentley's work over the years, you know he's a die hard Neil fan.  That said, when Bill writes, we read.
I listened once.

Then I listened again. I felt like you were sitting in a chair across the room from me, playing these twelve songs like you'd just written them. They were so alive and so personal and so strong, and your voice sounded a bit in awe of them yourself. Like maybe you were a bit surprised these were all your creations. Each time another song would start I would get the chills, like I was walking through a new door into a room I'd never been in.

Many of the songs had been on earlier albums and those original versions had always sounded cast in stone--"Ohio," "Cowgirl in the Sand' and others. But now, just you, your guitar and piano, and played them all like they were flowing from your heart for the very first time. You were twenty-five years old that night in Stratford, but the sound of your voice carried an eternal resonance that felt like you had landed on planet Earth carrying a timeless message from another land. It's hard to describe, but you didn't sound like someone on a theatre stage with an instrument or two. This was way beyond that. This music had a cosmic reverberation going on that really did bring in a new different reality. Something was happening.

As I played YOUNG SHAKESPEARE for the third time, I suddenly realized that if I would only be allowed to own one Neil Young album, this would be it.
 
Full review on on Bentley's Bandstand | NYA.

Graham Nash: “We found out during the Déjà Vu record just who Neil was and just how strong an individual personality he has."

“And to this day, Neil does what he wants to do. We have to respect each member’s desires, and his desire was to not put on two or three of his songs.”

REVIEWS + INTERVIEWS: ‘Rust Bucket’ by Neil Young w/ Crazy Horse + Frank “Poncho” Sampedro | SPIN

‘Way Down in the Rust Bucket’  - Neil Young w/ Crazy Horse
"Let me go on record as saying that I think this 'Way Down in the Rust Bucket" is the best Crazy Horse record we ever recorded.
 I love it! "
~ Frank “Poncho” Sampedro, Rolling Stone -  March 2, 2021

 

As previously posted,  Crazy Horse's Frank “Poncho” Sampedro has said that ‘Way Down in the Rust Bucket’  is "the best Crazy Horse record we ever recorded".

So how about the critics?

From Neil Young / Crazy Horse: Way Down in the Rust Bucket Album Review | Pitchfork by Stephen Thomas Erlewine:

As silly as it sounds, “T-Bone” provides the key to unlocking many of Way Down in the Rust Bucket’s charms. 

It’s not much of a song—there are no other lyrics than “Got mashed potatoes/Ain’t got no T-Bone"—yet hearing Crazy Horse lock into a primal rhythm then remain there for nearly seven minutes, as Young delivers each repetition of its lone line as if it’s a new punchline, is as invigorating as his elongated solos. 

There’s a direct line connecting this rave-up with “Farmer John,” a frat-rock classic from Don & Dewey by way of the Premiers that wound up as a touchstone on Ragged Glory: They’re party tunes played by a band intent on having a hell of a good time.

See full review of Neil Young / Crazy Horse: Way Down in the Rust Bucket Album Review | Pitchfork by Stephen Thomas Erlewine. 

From Neil Young #60: Way Down In The Rust Bucket| Everybody’s Dummy by Wardo:

The focus throughout Way Down In The Rust Bucket is the music. 

Very little of the between-song chatter is included, and every track fades to silence after the song is finished, with a minimum of crowd ambiance. (The video portion, simultaneously released on DVD, included all the chatter, tuning, and false starts, as well as the night’s performance of “Cowgirl In The Sand”, which apparently had audio issues.)


Of the many projects teased from Neil Young Archives throughout 2020, this was a welcome installment in the growing catalog. 

Hard to believe, listening over 30 years later, these guys were considered “old” then.

From Neil Young Guitarist Poncho on the Band's Best Show | SPIN by Ford:

SPIN: Was there something heading up to those shows in Santa Cruz that made you all want to capture it? Everyone sounds like they’re at the top of their collective games. 

 
Frank “Poncho” Sampedro: Quite honestly, I didn’t even know they ever found [the tapes] until two or three weeks ago. 

Really, I had no clue. I never heard the bootlegs. That was just a product of Larry Johnson wanting to do it and Neil gave in and let him do it. That’s our home turf and a big weed-growing community. What better place to start the tour — and this wasn’t a warm-up show — than there? It wasn’t about preparing for anything in the future. It was about going out and having a good time. I watched the video and it amazes me. It seems like I was mesmerized by [bassist] Billy [Talbot]. He’s over the moon having so much fun prancing around, singing, playing. I was just looking at him going wild. And he even turned into our emcee that night. It was amazing. 

I’d never seen him do that.

SPIN: What do you remember getting off stage that night, if you remember anything at all? 

 
Frank “Poncho” Sampedro: It was filled with joy. 

But not only that, all our buddies were there. It wasn’t like walking out to the tour bus and going down the road. We went to the bar we hung out with all our friends. Wasn’t nobody was asking for autographs or any crazy stuff. We were just having a good time. Then a guy asked us if we went outside and we said no. Since there were big glass windows, you can hear we’re playing loud and for more than a few feet. Every place [in that stretch] is packed with people outside partying. 

So we had a block party we didn’t even know.

See full interview of Neil Young Guitarist Poncho on the Band's Best Show | SPIN by Ford.

Also, see INTERVIEW: Frank “Poncho” Sampedro - Neil Young, Crazy Horse Guitarist | Rolling Stone by Andy Greene.

As the "Inextinguishable Scotsman" declared succinctly: "RUST BUCKET: the sound of Ragged Glory transforming into Weld."

Neil Young's Guitar Tech Kurt Kasinoff Seriously Ill - UPDATED

Kurt Kasinoff

...

PREVIOUS

Sadly, Kurt Kasinoff, Neil Young's Guitar Tech, is seriously ill.

via Steve Drymalski:

Here is an update on Kurt. Unfortunately, it is not the greatest news....

After a long fight with illness, Kurt Kasinoff, long time Neil Young, Paul Simon and Fleetwood Mac guitar tech, is currently in the hospital with acute liver failure. His prognosis is not positive. Kurt was admitted to a hospital on Saturday evening near his home in Albuquerque, NM after suffering from a fall resulting in a head injury. He is currently in the Critical Care Ward. Presbyterian Hospital
(505) [phone redacted]

Due to his condition, a transplant is not viable. 
 
Unfortunately, due to the pandemic related lack of work and the Live Music Industry shutdown, Kurt’s savings have been depleted and looking forward, he will require hospice care if he is discharged from the hospital. At this point Kurt’s life is being measured in days to weeks.

Neil Young Archives: Don't Cry No "Tiers" Around Us + Comment of the Moment: Timeline Concerts on NYA

 Don't Cry No "Tiers"
The Tiers: Neil Young Archives

With the recent announcement of Neil Young Archives Membership Tiers: Rust & Patron, more details have been forthcoming on  the  features and perks of membership, such as, "Timeline Concert of the Week". (See Timeline Concerts on Neil Young Archives + Comment of the Moment: New NYA Membership Tiers: Rust & Patron.)

Which -- of course -- brings us to yet another Comment of the Moment on  Timeline Concerts on Neil Young Archives + New NYA Membership Tiers: Rust & Patron by Hank:

my own complaint and its hardly a complaint, is regarding the hardware to play and stream the music and video on..

i have two iMac computers, an old 2011 version and a 2014 version.. since upgrading my package to rust my older iMac seems to struggle playing the music especially the newer added live stuff.

my 2014 mac no issue.. but and here's the problem.. i don't wanna be locked away in my office listening or watching on my own.

i upgraded my TV 2019 panasonic smart tv.. can't add app, if i go thru browser it just crashes. i bought a 4K Amazon tv cube so the kids could watch disney+.. again i can't add app, and the site just hangs going thru browser.

i want my music and video in my living room, it where my huge tv is, my bose sound system is, its where i relax..but i just cant seem to archives to play. I'm left streaming thru the app on my phone to the sound system..

so other than buy a apple mac mini and linking it thru the tv.. what ways are people listening and watch archives? coz as Archives gets bigger, i seem to be finding more technical issues with regards hardware and playback..all suggestions greatly appreciated.

Hank, we hear you here loud and clear on the challenges of finding the right technology mix to enjoy NYA it all of its ragged glory.

We have been hearing about these dilemmas off & on going back to 2008 with NYA #1 and the BluRay system.  While NYA does have a specific section on Listen | Times-Contrarian, even so, the options and complexities boggle many rusties minds. 



Are you looking for optimal high resolution audio for your phone?  If so, which platform?  Are you looking for optimal high resolution audio for your home  system? Or for your car?  Are you looking for home theater, surround sound, high definition video?  And on and on.

We our selves here at TW HQ, have been building our own systems since a teenager with tuners, amps, pre-amps, mixers, etc and are a bit stumped on how best to proceed with our next upgrade.

Back in 2009, we embarked on a major system upgrade for the BluRay for NYA#1.  Even then, we don't feel we ever really got the maximum effect of the high resolution 24/96 audio.  

And here we are in 2021 trying to figure out options. We're shooting for nirvana and poor Thrashette is losing her patience. We had set a goal of trying to achieve the whole solution. A solution that allows playback from any device, anywhere.

Initially, we thought that wireless speakers were the route.  But then discovered most don't support high resolution 24/96 audio which led us to BluOS. From NYA:

A Home System For NYA

BluOS hi-res wireless distributed audio platform is expanding the integration of the Neil Young Archives (NYA) - worldwide, after originally being introduced in May to North America.

NYA members from around the world have asked for this and we’re appreciative of Lenbrook’s expansion. Lenbrook International is the developer of BluOS.

So do we wait until May?  If so, we won't be enjoying NYA until June at least to get purchased and setup etc. 

As Hank inquires above, what are you guys out there doing to get max pleasure from NYA?

Well, Don't Cry No "Tiers" Around Us.

FILM: "A Short Visit To The Neil Young Archives" + Comment of the Moment: INTERVIEW: Frank “Poncho” Sampedro & "Rust Bucket’

A Short Visit To The Neil Young Archives | NYA

A film from May 2000 -- directed by LA Johnson --  titled "A Short Visit To The Neil Young Archives" has been posted on Surf Shack | Neil Young Archives. (Thanks Steven F.!)

The 10 minute film walks thru the vaults of NYA revealing the astonishing motherlode of what is and what will be someday, including unreleased albums, concerts and films.  (Also, see The Making of The Neil Young Archives Vol#1 and ARCHIVES VOL. II: 1972-1976 Limited Edition Deluxe Box Set Out November 20 | NYA.

 

‘Way Down in the Rust Bucket’  - Neil Young w/ Crazy Horse
"Let me go on record as saying that I think this 'Way Down in the Rust Bucket" is the best Crazy Horse record we ever recorded.
 I love it! "
~ Frank “Poncho” Sampedro, Rolling Stone -  March 2, 2021

 

Also, the Comment of the Moment is from the post INTERVIEW: Frank “Poncho” Sampedro - Neil Young, Crazy Horse Guitarist | Rolling Stone by Dan on recently released album  ‘Way Down in the Rust Bucket’  - Neil Young w/ Crazy Horse:
    We finally got the time to watch the DVD of Way Down in the Rust Bucket last night.

        The songs that were featured on NYA last year every Friday did nothing to prepare us for what we experienced last night. By the time we got to the encore, my wife was absolutely spent. She said that each set could have been a whole concert on its own.

        Listening to the albums was (for me) a sonic revelation. Watching the entire concert was a totally physical revelation. The old cliche “ it was like being there” is an understatement. This was the most fun I’ve ever had at a concert without actually being there. I love the fact that the video was left as is, rough around the edges and grainy; ragged glory as it were. It felt like experiencing an historical event that had been lost to the ages, and somehow, unexpectedly discovered by an archeologist. This concert is the musical equivalent of discovering dead sea scrolls.

        Anyone with kids who have an interest in music, either playing it or just listening asks “what it was like going to a concert back in the day” should have the opportunity to witness this film......LOUD!!! It will answer many questions they may have. Like “why is it so important to play in the moment”, or “What does it mean, “being in the zone”. What is the value to “play with feeling over technique? “Why are mistakes just as important as accuracy”? “Why is the joy of playing more valuable than the money you can make”? All this and more is openly on display in this one performance.

        This document is an extraordinary example of the power of rock and roll, and its value to the heart, mind, and soul. One doesn’t even need to like Neil Young and Crazy Horse to see the glory of the “group mind” playing music. There’s intensity, humor, musicality, heartfelt and emotional lyrics. There is the simplicity of T. Bone creating an opportunity to just jam for the sake of jamming, the cinematic Cortez the Killer, the anthemic Love and Only Love. The provocative Bite the Bullet, and Farmer John. This show covers a lot of ground, and it takes its sweet time doing it.

        The pure joy on stage I felt listening to the 4 LP’s, was in plain view on the DVD. A great band playing in a great venue for a great audience, and no one was holding anything back. This was a concert for the ages, and it should be witnessed by as many people as possible, but be prepared to be completely exhausted after seeing it.

        I can’t wait to experience it again, and again and.........

        Peace 🙏
Thanks Dan.  So cool you and your wife got to enjoy this experience 3 decades after the fact. As we often like to say to anyone who cares to listen, see and hear: "May The Horse Be With You & Yours!"

We had a very similar scene @ TW w/ Thrashette on occasion going "so we saw this tour?" 

While we both did see the 1991 WELD tour, the vibe and song selection are so vastly different it's hard to believe how close together they occurred and how much had changed by the time The Horse came to our town in Largo, Maryland.  

As the "Inextinguishable Scotsman" declared succinctly: "RUST BUCKET: the sound of Ragged Glory transforming into Weld."
